August is a flat out dance party marathon on Afropop Worldwide. We'll groove for three weeks in a row, starting with handpicked gems from summer dance parties past. Get ready for a fast-paced set sure to make your heart smile and your hips swivel. Featured artists include a Papa Wemba classic from a 1996 set, Eddie Palmieri at the heart of the New York salsa scene, the African-Latin boundary breakers Africando (featuring Guinea's Sekouba "Bambino" Diabate on soaring vocals), Cheb Mami hotting up the Arab music scene in Paris in 2001, the late great S.A. diva Brenda Fassie in her final year (2003), Magic System's mega-hit "Premier Gaou" (which became the soundtrack for much of West Africa), and Cheik Lo groovin' on peace and love, and more!
